The second character is not clear due to insufficient resolution. But it appears to say Qianlong Nianzhi. Not of the period, though.

When posting pictures try to make them approx. 100 kB. There is a limit to 400 kB per post in total, but additional pictures can be added separately.
Don't just enlarge small pictures because this will affect image resolution.  :)

Thanks for the info on the mark and the tip - I'm not good at this (senior lady here). I think I've seen that mark on other mid-20th century stuff, I'm guessing they sprinkled it around liberally? I have a famille rose floor vase that I picked up at a local yard sale for $15; the woman selling it said she brought the vase over from her sister's home in China 40 years ago - now I see it's the same mark. Not too garish and very busy, but at that price, did I care? No, I did not. KB
